SCH CD-LEG SCHOLARSHIP-APPROP
Synopsis of Bill as introduced:

Assembly scholarships. Provides that a nominee's receipt of a
scholarship is subject to appropriation by the General Assembly.
Provides that funds used to award the scholarships shall be
appropriated to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission. Requires
the Commission to distribute the scholarship funds to the appropriate
